The black seeds of the Selim are also called Senegal pepper, stick pepper and Kani pepper and grow wild in the impenetrable forests of Central and West Africa. Surprisingly, many traditional African spices have been known in Europe since the Middle Ages, but were gradually displaced by Asian spices with the opening of the Silk Road.
Selims pepper has a pungent, slightly bitter anise aroma and can be added whole or in pieces to soups, sauces or poultry dishes when cooking.
Wild collection from the rainforest
What makes our calabash nutmeg special? It is wild-collected directly from the steaming green rainforests of Cameroon. Local village communities protect the forest, which they have used sustainably for centuries as a source of food, material and medicine. This sustainable use by local people prevents forests from being endangered for short-term profit. You support people, nature and climate!
